I am about to receive planning permission for 6 one bed flats conversion from an existing family home. The current single phase 100A supply will not be sufficient so I have applied for a 3-phase upgrade.

Hi,
My first post so please go gentle on me!

I fitted 3 yesterday all worked fine. However the owner said they tripped once after I had left, no further info as to if they tripped immediately or after a while.

Hello all. I will try to keep this short and hopefully sweet:

I seem to remember whilst at the NICEIC film show (oh by the way I believe NAPIT are doing a roadshow as well, lets hope its better than the NICEIC one, see Julys PE for details)
One of the things I remembered from the very limited information given out, was the fact that AFDDS would not be...
Okay I can see that whatever the case there is no one working with the forum who can stop the spam. Well I acknowledge that clearly you get on to it and wipe it off each and every time it appears and am always grateful you respond so quickly. I realise it must be a chore that you hate as much as...
